Cue up the “we didn’t need another thread about this.” And “you should have gone to the game.”

Well I did go to the game but when you turn on the radio “I don’t even listen to sports talk radio in Atlanta anymore.” And they discuss visibility one of the complaints was they couldn’t see it on TV. Now that the seasons started and some channels have picked it up we’ve quit bitching.

They clearly haven’t gotten the message. We need to bug and badger and threaten these people as much as we can. We need to show that our fan base is worth shelling out some more money. I have AT&T and I’ll be calling them up and unless I’m satisfied I’m going to drop them. But they will sure as öööö know why.

It’s 7:15 a.m. have you cussed out your cable provider today?

Queue?

Yeah actually depending on context I think both work. Like cue means to signal in an act or play or “cue up the band”

Where queue directly means like a line or ordered list. I actually looked it up before this post.

If I’m wrong y’all prove it to me.

Either "queue up" or "cue" but not "cue up."
 
I use hulu, they are/were offering a 7 day free trial of their live tv option you can try it for a big game, it's good.
 
Rather than wasting energy complaining to a leviathan, put your money where your mouth is and switch to one of the streaming services. The execs at these companies are fully aware of the complaints, but their business trackers show that it's not an impact and the cost outweighs the potential loss of business. Continued threads where folks complain and don't take action about it tend to prove their models correct.

Guys I’m going to be either at the game or guaranteeing I’m watching it by switching.

I’m advocating for the future sidewalk fan, the recruit who can’t afford to switch or pay for a higher tier service. I want as many eyes on our games as possible!!
 
It’s not about attracting alums who are football fans anyway, I want all the fans.
 
The lack of coverage isn't just about fans watching the game. It hurts recruiting.

I'm in mid ga and even in past years, I've not been able to watch games. We'll be playing an ACC team and it won't be on but I can watch east Wyoming play north Idaho. Ugag will be prime time against south ga technical college.

The recruits grow up being able to watch ugag practice on ESPN but don't see us play unless they go online. They want to be on TV, they want their friends and family to see them play. When the braves were on tbs, there were braves fans all over the country because they were on TV every night.

The lack of exposure is one of the things that hurts our recruiting.

It's cheaper to switch to streaming...

I think he makes a valid point in that casual viewers won't be able to see our games if they don't have ACCN. And those folks aren't likely to make a switch in provider if they aren't a fan of an ACC school. I doubt many of us would switch in order to get the SECN.
 
Eventually (in 2021), the end of Comcast’s current agreement with Disney that covers all ESPN channels will be the conduit that forces the ACC network on Comcast.

Disney can play real hardball then. But before then, Comcast will drag their feet.

Seems like the chicken and the egg.
